Thanksgiving and Prayer

(A)I thank my God (B)in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, (C)because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began (D)a good work in you (E)will bring it to completion at (F)the day of Jesus Christ. It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you (G)in my heart, for you are all (H)partakers with me of grace,[a] both (I)in my imprisonment and in (J)the defense and confirmation of the gospel. For (K)God is my witness, (L)how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. And it is my prayer that (M)your love may abound more and more, (N)with knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve what is excellent, (O)and so be pure and blameless (P)for the day of Christ, 11 filled (Q)with the fruit of righteousness that comes (R)through Jesus Christ, (S)to the glory and praise of God.
